We don’t rely on the status quo, we look for innovative yet pragmatic thinking that turns big ideas into real insights and impact.

What's the role?
Despite headwinds the last five years, the low-carbon transition has maintained momentum. Last year, companies and consumers combined to deliver $2.1 trillion in energy transition investments, up 11% from 2024. Financial institutions have been instrumental in enabling the deployment of low-carbon assets. However identifying the exposure of investment and lending portfolios to the low-carbon transition remains a challenge. As part of the Transition Risk and Alignment team, you will be responsible for building and operating quantitative models that track the exposure of companies to the energy transition. In this role, you will gain experience at the nexus between the net-zero transition, financial reporting and corporate sustainability.
We'll trust you to:
- Demonstrate excellent quantitative and communication skills, present and work with data effectively.
- Support the maintenance and development of data tools and scripts for analysis on the exposure of companies to the energy transition, based on their revenues and capital expenditures.
- Conduct data analysis using the Bloomberg Terminal.
- Support the communication of research findings via intuitive interactive dashboards, reports, news stories, datasets, and direct client interactions.
- Balance multiple parallel tasks, be highly organized and have rigorous attention to detail. Collaborate with integrity and drive with colleagues and clients from different cultures and countries.
You'll need to have:
- A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a related field such as Data Science, Statistics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative discipline.
- Proficiency in Python and SQL.
- Strong quantitative skills and comfort with working effectively with large datasets and complex models.
- Internship and/or work experience (1-2 years) in the energy, commodities, finance industries.
- Excellent communication skills in English: writing, reading, and speaking. Rigorous attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality work.
We'd love to see:
- Basic understanding of energy and/or financial markets and the transition to a low-carbon economy.
- Experience in using the Bloomberg Terminal (bdh, bdp, bql, bsrch etc). Experience with data visualization tools like PowerBI
